Why do viruses need hosts to reproduce

When it comes into contact with a host cell, a virus can insert its genetic material into its host, literally taking over the host's functions. An infected cell produces more viral protein and genetic material instead of its usual products. Some viruses may remain dormant inside host cells for long periods, causing no obvious change in their host cells (a stage known as the lysogenic phase). But when a dormant virus is stimulated, it enters the lytic phase: new viruses are formed, self-assemble, and burst out of the host cell, killing the cell and going on to infect other cells. The diagram below at right shows a virus that attacks bacteria, known as the lambda bacteriophage, which measures roughly 200 nanometers

This is s cute awee : (( . well if she's showing you signs that she may like you , then shoot your shot ! don't be afraid . & if you're unsure that she's giving you these signs , then wait out for a little bit . most girls are different . some may act really sweet , but only bc you're a good friend of hers . that , or she might like you . you just never know . but i think you should sit down with her & tell her how you feel . but don't be awkward & shy . just be straight up & tell her how you feel . if the feelings aren't mutual , then don't cry about it . you need to respect her decision & look for others in the world . feelings can be difficult & confusing , but don't be afraid to show them . i say you play it out & if you're still unsure about it , talk to her . - rach
